Beta Lactam penicillin Flashcards
The peptidoglycan is composed of glycan chains, which are linear strands of two alternating amino sugars
Nag Nam
N-acetylglucosamine and N-acetylmuramic acid
First stage of peptidoglycan biosynthesis
precursor formation
uridine diphosphate (UDP)acetylmuramyl-pentapeptide
Park neucleotide
Second stage of peptidoglycan biosynthesis
UDP-acetylmuramylpentapeptide and UDPacetylglucosamine
Third stage of biosynthesis of peptidoglycan
transpeptidation reaction
Last step in peptidoglycansynthesis
Inhibited by beta lactam antibiotics
By inhibiting the enzyme transpeptidase
Penicillins as well as cephalosporins are called beta-lactam antibiotics and are characterized by threefundamental structural requirements
Beta lactam structure
Carboxyl acid group
Amino acid side chains
The lactam structure can also be viewed as the covalent bonding of pieces of two amino acids
Cysteine and valine
The compound consists of 2 basic structures of penicillin
Thiazolidine Ring
2. Beta-Lactam Ring
the parent compound of all semisynthetic penicillins
6 amino penicillinic acid
Gram negative cocci

Penicillin greatest activity with
gram-positive organisms,
gram negative cocci,
non-beta lactamase producing anaerobes
Penicillin little activity against
gram-negative rods
Pencillin Susceptible to destruction/hydrolysis by
Beta lactamase
